I just picked up a used canon 80d from online camera place. before i purchase a screen protector does mine already have one on it? I think it does,but I'm not 100 percent sure. Thanks.

Greetings,

The camera is not sold by Canon with a screen protector installed.

If you purchased used, one might be installed. If you do buy/use one, make sure you look at the reviews. Buy/use either a film or hard protector that doesn't leave a residue. 😉

The camera is used, i know they don't come pre installed. I was just wanting to know if my used 80d had one already on the screen. The site i bought it from didn't know if one was installed or not.

The quality of your image isn't really good enough for us to make a call whether a protector is installed. I'm on a mobile device however. With a bright light you should be able to determine if one is present.

The factory installed screens are actually pretty durable. I've owned a lot of cameras since screens became a thing on them, and my cameras get a lot of use (and a slight amount of abuse when I'm on certain jobs). I don't use screen protectors, and I've never even scratched a single screen... and I leave mine flipped open all the time (even when they go back in the camera bag). Sure they get smudged, but they clean easily.

Looking at the top and right size outline I say it does have one installed.

Thanks Gary. This has been my experience as well. However, I never leave my screen LCD side out and tucked into the body. I prefer the viewfinder and camera controls in the majority of cases.

I agree. The sharp corners of the protector are the giveaway. The camera's LCD has rounded corners.

We all have our different styles, as I'm sure you will agree, Rick. But I do have to back up on one thing I said... I don't leave it open "all" the time. The exception would be when I am photographing night skies - the Milky Way, or Northern Lights. That screen will make you lose your night vision almost instantly. 🙂 I won't even look into the viewfinder any more than I have to - which is only while setting up the shot each time I move my tripod to a different area.

Upon using the light from my phone, it does have the protective screen. And another giveaway was the bubble on the bottom right hand side i found from us

I'll keep that in mind for future references.

Also, i couldn't find much information on this battery. Is it any good? This is what came with my camera along with a canon charger.

That's not a Canon battery (it's third-party). Your milage will vary. I do recommend though using original Canon batteries.

Yeah i figured it was off brand battery, i was hoping it was a good one! Haha. I know real canon batteries have canon written on them.

This was new territory for me. (1) It never would have occurred to me to put a screen protector on. (2) I would think that if one was on, a person would be able to see it readily. I always have the screen out and have never had any damage. I learned something today.

I wasn't the one who put it on, and I've only ever had a screen protector on my labtop. You cant even see it on my labtop nor tell its there because the the screen protector fits flush with the labtops round edges. I can only tell because it has a small bubble on the bottom of my screen.

I have a screen protector in my iPhone--because a gentle breeze can shatter an iPhone screen--but I've never done a screen protector for any other device. I wasn't even aware they existed for cameras. This has been a most informative post.
